RE: suggested new RRtype experiment

I've been trying to. Not sure what more I can say.

You call DnsQueryW. Sometimes it sends a UDP packet with dest port 53,
but sometimes it does an RPC to some other server. The RPC protocol is
RR-type specific; moreover, reving same would not only requiring reving
the RPC protocol, but would of course also require reving the
server/firewall that's listening on the other side.

Not at all.

I'm saying that writing a custom DNS client won't work in many
customer
installations.

The issue is specific to DNS, not a generic UDP one.


Can you elaborate?
